My PC will turn 3 yr now, the CPU (i7 -4820K ) Is it awesome (For me) i haven't overclock it since i am afraid to do it, to this day it can handle, Adobe Application(Lightroom , Premier Pro and After Effects) and stuff, can do multi task and handle games, Since i am upgrading my GTX 770 to GTX 1080 TI FTW3.

I was trying to look up any CPU that is compatible on LGA 2011 since most of the new CPU are based on LGA 1151,

So how do i know i need to upgrade my CPU?

if i am going to upgrade my CPU i might get a new set (CPU, Mobo, Ram) since my mobo is old version and intel doesn't make new chips..

There is a ~10% performance per clock difference, and if you bought a CPU with more cores, you'd have that as well. LGA2011v3 is almost at the end of its lifecycle though, so I don't think it's wise to spend money on it. Better to drop a new CPU into your existing board (there are 6 and 8 core options) or go with a quad core on Intel's socket 1151, which has CPUs on it which are 4 generations in design ahead of what you have, and have something like 20-25% better IPC, plus higher clockspeed.

Another option is AMD's Ryzen. You can get an 8-core CPU which is competitive with...

You would be better off just overclocking your 4820k.

See how it goes for the overclocking. You should still be able to get a pretty good overclock using that cooler.
